Rajendran
(Raj) Nair – President & CEO.
Raj has over 20 years
of combined experience in electronics in
the areas of robotics, instrumentation design
& production and VLSI design & manufacture.
Prior to ComLSI, Raj served as a Senior
Manager for IC Design at Lovoltech Inc.
and spent 7+ years at Intel Corporation
where he was responsible for strategic research
and program management in the areas of microprocessor
Power Delivery, IO and Packaging. Specific areas that
Raj contributed to in VLSI design are Memory
(RAM, ROM), Integrated Voltage Regulation,
Image Sensor Architecture, Switched-Cap
Circuits, Clock Generation & Distribution,
High-Speed Signaling, and Microprocessor
Power Delivery. Raj brings analog &
mixed-signal LSI design expertise to ComLSI
and a passion for innovation.
Noteworthy among Raj's industry-first accomplishments are the first robotic automatic
hydraulic excavator testing system, conceived and developed in 1987-1989, that continues
to be in use today at L&T-Bangalore Works, Bangalore, India. Raj also conceived of and
implemented the industry's first integrated, distributed, high-bandwidth voltage regulation system
into Intel microcontrollers 80196NV(tm) and 80296SB(tm), in 1996, that minimized the need
for on-die capacitance and saved die area. At ComLSI, Raj has developed Active Noise Regulators
(ANR's) and Local Voltage Regulators that assist high-performance microprocessor and ASIC power
delivery in the nanoscale regimes. Most recently, he led the development of a 7.5Gbps
30 meter multimedia data communications link implementing advanced TMDS and Symmetric,
true-differential Class-B Differential Signaling (CBDS) circuits.
Raj holds 35 US and international
patents with 12 pending and has numerous
publications in IEEE journals and conference
proceedings. He founded the Phoenix Chapter of the AZ Nanotechnology Cluster
and was cluster co-chair from 2004 to 2006, leading it to its first Nanotechnology Symposium held at Phoenix on March 16, 2006.
He is a Senior Member of the IEEE,
and an individual member of the VSI
Alliance. Access Raj's executive summary here.
